1. 1A nationally certified practitioner has applied for a North Dakota license but has received neither a license nor a limited permit. May the practitioner begin offering occupational therapy services?

   1. A. Yes, because the license application is pending
   2. B. Yes, because national certification substitutes for state authority
   3. C. No, because state practice authority has not been issued
   4. D. Yes, because every applicant automatically receives limited-permit authority

   Answer: C

   Explanation: NDCC 43-40-02 states: “A person may not practice occupational therapy ... in this state unless that person is licensed under this chapter.” Neither a pending application nor certification automatically supplies state practice authority.
